10.6: Using iCal Group calendars on Snow Leopard Server
Finally found a solution to this!
The problem is OS X 10.6.4 update changes the way iCal.app resolves the URL of the wiki group calendar which in turn exposes a bug in the iCal Server on OS X Server. The 'Principal URL' on the server is incorrect and doesn't lead anywhere and when iCal tries to access the URL, it gives an error. The workaround is to change one of the iCal server configuration files manually, restart iCal server and re-enter the /principals/wikis/groupname/ url to iCal clients affected. See this Apple Discussion Forum post for full details Credits to Andre LaBrance1 on Apple Discussion Forums The 'patch' in brief: On the OS X server, open /usr/share/caldavd/lib/python/twistedcaldav/directory/principal.py in a text editor, change the line shown, and change its location (moved to below self.record & self.parent). To clarify, the changed portion (around line 530) of the old / existing version of principal.py would look like: assert record is not None, "Principal must have a directory record"and the 'patched' version would look like: assert record is not None, "Principal must have a directory record"NOTE: PLEASE NOTICE the change in the line url = joinURL... not just the position of it.NOTE: After changes, remember to restart iCal server and change the URL in iCal application on affected client(s) to the one at the top of this thread.

NOTES Continued:
NOTE: When editing principal.py make sure you don't use TAB to indent the code. Python is TAB-sensitive and adding TABs will crash byte compiler (see note below). Use spaces in stead. NOTE: Before restarting iCal server, rename/delete principal.pyc which is in the same folder. Principal.pyc is the byte compiled version of principals.py and it will get re-compiled (re-created) when iCal server starts. |
